Statement of Work Summary: Background: The success or failure of Government initiatives rests on the timely and accurate communication of information. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is a vast department with a number of dynamic operating divisions dispersed throughout the county. Almost every form of communications technology is represented within HHS?s five broadcast studios. Technical compatibility and connectivity between Headquarters and the Operating Divisions is essential, and more urgently, HHS Headquarters must be able to speak directly to the public in times of emergency. A few years ago, these deficiencies would have been inconveniences. In today's world, they are strategic weaknesses in the Government?s communications network. We must create a communications system structure that addresses the connectivity between all of HHS and the American people. Project Purpose: The purpose of this procurement is to purchase the equipment and services necessary to install a Ku-Band digital/analog satellite uplink system at the HHS Headquarters building in Washington, DC. The equipment purchased under this procurement will provide a reliable broadcast capability inside the HHS Headquarters building. Project Overview: This project is for the procurement, delivery, installation, and testing of a complete analog and digital Ku-Band roof-mounted satellite uplink system. This uplink system shall include complete electronic redundancy, and environmental systems that will allow for sustained broadcast capabilities under all conditions. The Contractor shall provide all electronics, cabling and skilled labor to complete this ?turn-key? project. Requirements: The Contractor shall: ▸ Provide and install a 3.8m Vertex DPK, Dual offset antenna on the GFE roof load frame with: o Three axis motorization o Four port feed (Domestic Ku-Band) o Antenna controller, mounted in control room. o Motor control box, at antenna frame o Full electric de-ice system with remote M&C o Provisioning and installation of cables to send and receive IF signals, to provide M&C functions and control the antenna. These cables are to be pulled in GFE conduits from the control room to the roof load frame. o Connect the Motor controller, De-ice and electronics to GFE AC power distribution breaker boxes mounted on or near the load frame. ▸ Integrate the uplink transmit and receive hardware. o Install on the GFE antenna frame the 1:2 redundant Outdoor SSPAs and BUCs including the waveguide, coax and M&C cables as required. o Install the LNBs and 1:2 redundancy switch and M&C cable o Connect cables for RF /IF signals. o Connect cables for antenna controller and M&C o Install the Deice controller box and M&C cable o Pull cables in GFE conduits to control room ▸ Test the antenna and electronics after installation for proper performance o Provide 2 degree compliance data (transmit and receive patterns) ▪ Customer to provide satellite transponder time. o Test the De-ice system and controller o Provide 2 days operator training on the operation, maintenance and testing procedures of the uplink system. Control room electronics: ▸ Install electronics in GFE racks o Redundant Digital video modulators (L-Band out) o Redundant Analog video modulators (L-Band out) o IF patch panels and looping plugs o Two each Digital and Analog Satellite receivers o Vertex 3.8 meter antenna controller o SSPA/BUC control and monitor panel o LNB redundancy switch control panel o De-ice control and monitor panel HHS will provide: ▸ AC electrical power conduits, cable and distribution boxes at the roof load frame. (Motors and De-ice ? Utility power, electronics on UPS technical power.) ▸ Conduit runs from the antenna frame to the control room on the first floor. Approximate distance, 500 feet. ▸ Adequate rack space for the equipment in the control room. ▸ All required licenses, permits, permissions and authorizations for this project from the appropriate jurisdictions / parties. ▸ Space and week-end access for crane work and partial antenna assembly on 2nd St. (Will require closing the street for a Saturday or Sunday).
